The fourth image also includes another familiar face — Keeley Hawes, who plays Home Secretary Julia Montague in the Sunday night drama.

Bodyguard's much-anticipated 75-minute finale, which airs Sunday 23rd September at 9pm on BBC1, will see writer Jed Mercurio attempt to tie-up the multiple loose ends left by last week's penultimate episode.Richard Madden — aka Bodyguard's brooding police protection officer David Budd — has shared a series of selfies from the BBC1 drama's set.
